The Greeks would have loved her. Reminds me of many statues of Aphrodite.

Yikes, she’s got quite a stomach flap there! 175 lbs is not obese but it’s a bit hefty. I know a woman who weighs exactly that.
This model’s pose actually hides some of the the ‘heft’.

A woman who is nearly six feet tall and weighs 175 lbs, well, it says right here she need not worry all that much if she chooses to order a sandwich.

Hey, she’s within my tolerances!
I have never understood why models are always so skinny they look starved.
A few years back I worked in an office with a modeling agency on the floor above. At least once a month an ambulance would show up to take one of the girls to the hospital. They’d pass out. They’d get dizzy and fall. They’d get nosebleeds that wouldn’t stop.
That gal may need to tone up a bit, but then, so do I.
I’n not casting any stones.

No, I don't ‘try’ to make fun of people but it IS the topic on this thread. As I said, I know a woman who weighs that and if this woman stood up she would be as large as Michelle Obama, and we all know what is said about her.

Cocaine will do that to a person.

She’s flabby, but not particularly heavy for her height. To be honest, she looks kind of like me, only I’m 5’3”, 145 lbs., 43 years old, and I’ve had nine children.

somebody needs to tell her that it doesn’t get any easier over the next 20+ years.

The young lady is a borderline model for Peter Paul Rubens.

It is only in the last 40 years or so that anorexia became fashionable. Before that, women were soft and curvy. See example below.

Screw the New York/Hollywood machine. Ruben's models were beautiful, healthy and very sexy women, not bulimic skeletons that the 'Fashion Mafia' keep trying to shove on us.
